Tricky Konqueror Question

gbrad · 03-01-2003, 06:12 PM

If you link to an application in Konqueror, using HTML, upon clicking the link the user is prompted with a message box saying "Are you sure you want to execute 'program name'? Does anyone know how to disable this behavior so that the link would execute automatically? Here is an example of what I'm talking about:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<a href="Test"><img src="bitmap.png"></a>
<iframe src="file:/root/Assignments" width = "400" height ="300">
</body>
</html>

I want people to be able to click on the 'bitmap.png' image and be immediately run the 'Test' executable.

Thanks for your help.

Well, assuming that you want 'other' people to access this, we can probably bet that they are using less security conscious web browsers and operating systems. Seems this is a konqueror specific issue, and konq only has something like 2% market share in the browser world.

I was peeking around konq settings and couldn't find anything that applies, sorry. What happens when you use another browser?

Actually, this is something Konqueror-specific. I'm coding a few plugin-like things in HTML for a few people I'm building computers for. An example of the functionality: a movie folder would have a list of common actions--play dvd, rip dvd, etc.--and a separate list of files in the actual Movies directory. This and similar things would just provide some eye candy and makes things a bit easier on these soon-to-be newbies.
